Zack barely had time for a sheepish smile before she'd flung herself at him, and the teddy bear was promptly squished between the two of them. At first, Zack was frozen in place; it was one thing reuniting in the Lifestream, where there was no touch or feel but only being, it was something entirely different to actually be holding her after so many years of being physically apart. Their time together in the afterlife aside, how many years had it been since they'd even spoken to each other?

To Hell with thinking. Zack wasn't letting go now.

Keeping one arm between them to make sure the bear plush didn't fall to the floor (and make a loud squeak to ruin the mood), his other wrapped around Aerith's back and pulled her as close as he could. Gods, he missed her, enough so that if she could feel the wing on his back through his coat, he couldn't bring himself to care. They were finally given the chance to be together again. No amount of personal insecurity would get in the way of that.

"Hey . . ." he eventually responded softly, resting his head on top of hers. "Told ya you'd look good in pink."
